The wind carries the smoke away... so it seems - It's actually just VFX Generator magic.
With the new textures you can finally use in the VFX Generator!
You can also build majestic fountains, no matter how little or much space you have!
Make some cyan bulbs fire arbitrarily into the distance...
A volcano made with three different combined particle effects
With the new sparks and many otters, you can form much more visually interesting arches now! Trust me, the VFX Generator is capable of much more than arches. But discover that for yourself...
Another arch. Yes. Embrace it. Look how beautiful it is! Now go ahead and try it for yourself!
Make a fountain out of them, too, go ahead. Don't be afraid. Make them do your bidding.
...or make them behave themselves and form a neat arch
This is how the VFX Generator looks in the Inventory
The chimney can also spew out colourful confetti...
Yes, otters. There's otter particles. But don't tell anyone.
Description
Want to build a menacing-looking volcano without running the risk of burning all your surroundings, including yourself? Want to build a confetti cannon but don't have any confetti lying around? Do have some spare end rods, redstone blocks, stone and some glass though? Well, just craft yourself the new VFX Generator!
This mod adds a new block, the Visual Effects Generator
This block enables you to generate an array of visual effects using it's GUI, which the block then generates in a customizable area around it in the world.
Currently, you can only generate particles, but more effects are planned. You can also only choose from a few predefined shapes/textures, however we are also planning to add a way to add your own textures to enable you to create any particle or visual effect you want in the future.You now have the ability to add your own particles! For a tutorial on how to do this, please take a look in the wiki before asking a question.
If you are stuck somewhere or don't understand something in the wiki, please feel free to complain about it (in a constructive manner!).

Want to know exactly how to craft the thing? Look here:
For the core of the generator, you need: 4x Redstone Block | 4x End Rod | 1x Glass Block
For the generator block itself you need the Generator Core you just crafted + 4x Smooth Stone blocks
Want to know what the GUI of the VFX Generator looks like and what options you (currently) have? Look here:
Note - This GUI will change in the future, much of what you see here is very temporary! (also these pictures are outdated as of 1.1.0.0 - will update soon to show the current state of the GUI.)
Need a little inspiration? Look here or in the "Images"-Tab:
This is an example of a simple effect, combining the VFX Generator with the Target block:
If you hit the target, you get confetti, hoorrayy.
This is how the volcano (which you can see in the "Images" tab) looks under the stony facade, if you wondered. Spider approves:

(Note: what you can currently do with the generator is not too much, but we will eventually add many more features and options! Please have patience with us however, as we are both studying full time and as such unfortunately hardly have enough time to craft regular updates filled with new content. Thanks for your understanding!)
If you have any questions or suggestions, please open an issue on the GitHub!
We will most likely not read the comments here on CurseForge very frequently, so if you want to be heard, go pay the GitHub a visit, thank you!
